answer:That the man in charge of the subways in NYC during 9/11 evacuated all the people from the stations nearby after the first plane hit. He directed conductors to not allow people to exit off trains and for all people on the platforms to board the next train even if it was not the train they were waiting for. This was before the second plane hit and before a building fell down. The way I heard the story no one was harmed in the underground system because of it. I heard it on a news story many years ago once, and never heard about it again. I assume it is true, and if it is he should get an award. He did that while people in the second tower were being told to stay put and the city was not yet in an official panic that it was terrorism.
